I just think it is crazy that if i murder someone and rob a bank that they can grt food stamps ,,, iwas convictied in 2003 for a drug charge ,,i mean come on noe it wasn`t even related with food stamps ...i don`t think it is fair what i feel like doing is walking into social services and saying so what you are telling me is if i kill someone you will gie me food stamps ...but if i am a drug felon i can`t get them so what are we to do some people make mistakes and learn from them and desere a second chance and to get a job that`s a joke mcDonalds would not even hire me ,,now you tell me what is wrong with that picture ..i don`t want pitty from anyone just for the justice to be served on drug felons to be able to get ood stamps,,, sincerely MISSISSIPPI.

Someone said: I agree with what you are feeling. I have sons who are going thru the same thing you are and me as a mother feel so disguisted with the system in how it is taken away with drug felons. I say you all paid your dues and also life has been taken from you all being incarcerated for so long. you all did you time, and its not fair for more punishment for the rest of all felons life. my son now is disable mentally but because of his past he is unable to get foodstamps so now I his mom have to support him in feeding him cause the government stinks with that stupid law. I wonder how that would feel if it was one of their relative or family member and were in our position with low income. If I knew who to speak to about this I would go in person and speak my mine. I would speak for all drug felons. people make mistakes. But they pay with their life that they don`t spend with their families.

oreagongrapes said: I do not think a person should be punished for the rest of their life. I think if a person has an active drug addiction he/she should have to attend some type of drug rehabilitation and counselling as a condition to receiving food stamps. I think they should also be required to attend life skills training and or job training for some time before being supported and helped to move on to part time employment. I this this should be required as a condition for food stamps or EBT payments for any able bodied healthy person not just felons or drug felons. The job support/ help, drug rehabilitation/counselling and life skills training should all be done with compassion and respect too. This is giving people a hand up rather than crush them down.

6 years there he can`t find a job, can`t get food stamps what do
they expect them to do. I can`t keep him up I try but it is hard but
I have noticed some people get them and I know they have been in jail. Guess it all boils down to who you know

Depends on your county..counties that have a higher work load due to a high volume of low income families such as my county(clayton) they may send your case to another county for processing it took 3 weeks for my initial interview and it has been 2 weeks since and i still have not heard anything unlike ssi or unemployment they do not back pay...so you never know.

I recently got a letter stating my ahcccs health insurance is ending, does that mean my food stamps are ending too?? the letter only said my cash assistance and my ahcccs are ending. there was nothing said about my food stamps... but im still worried.. HELP!

Someone said: no person convicted of drugs can receive food stamps. It is some type of federal sentencing guideline. As for being a felon and being denied food stamps that is propostorous. All fellons except drug charges get approved for welfare whoever denied that lady food stapms violated ethics and procedure sounds like she may need a fair hearing.
